In the study, rats fed a fructose water for two months experienced a surge in weight than rats given sugar water. The rats also had higher levels of harmful fats in the bloodstream and unhealthy condition of the arteries.
Food expert Professor Marta Alegret from the University of Barcelona advise people to avoid products with added fructose.
